Project Management with International Applications

Management of large-scale projects is both a science and an art. This course will focus on Project Management as an essential component of managing both international and domestic operations and an evolving professional discipline. All projects are typically complex, are comprised of many components and tasks, and involve a cross-section of different functional teams. The essential knowledge areas which are vital to effective project management (integration, scope, cost, time, quality, human resources, communication, risk, and procurement) will be explored in detail. As well, the key processes involved with successful project management (initiation, planning, controlling, executing, and closing) will be reviewed. Students will have an opportunity to apply these skills and knowledge to a variety of real-world situations and to utilize information technology to identify opportunities for improvement.
